Guys do I do any washes and weathering before I apply the gloss coat ,decals and matt coat or after? When do you do yours?

Hi Shane nice work so far. I apply my washes at the end ,so i paint then apply gloss/clear then decals then clear/gloss then washes then final matt if needed hope it helps but others may do it differently

I do it the same way as Ian. Your Spitfire is looking good Shane, very nice paint work.

So Shane, which paints did you use in the end ? I'm looking at building a 1:48 Hurricane, but Vallejo don't do the 'Sky' paint in model colour, or did you use 'Model air'

 

[hoggatt]

hi colin i used model air colours, duck egg green, dark earth and dark green
